Coelho says Ulysses was Harmful to Literature

[Prashant Kumar]

Coelho says writers fell into disgrace when they sought recognition through
form, not content. "Today writers want to impress other writers," he says.
And then names the culprit: "One of the books that caused great harm was
James Joyce's 'Ulysses,' which is pure style. There is nothing there.
Stripped down, 'Ulysses' is a twit," he says.


Sounds like someone hasn't *read *Ulysses.
